And despite an initial air of defiance, Shine Fights officials have reportedly conceded defeat and will host tonight’s fight card without the originally planned main event.

The official removal of the fight was first noted by Shine Fight broadcaster Karyn Bryant, who posted the report on her Twitter account.

“Mayorga’s out,” Bryant stated. “‘Ninja’ Rua vs. David Heath is new headliner at Shine tonight. Still lots of good fights going down!”

Multiple calls made by MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) to Shine Fights officials were not immediately returned.

Shine Fights first announced the signing of Mayorga, a former world champion boxer, in September 2009. However, Don King Productions, the company that holds Mayorga’s boxing contract, waited until this week to file a motion requesting a legal injunction to prevent the boxer’s participation in the mixed martial arts bout.

Judge Marc Gold issued that order Saturday morning in a Broward County, Fla., court. Initial reactions from Shine Fights officials, as well as both Mayorga and Thomas, indicated that the organization planned on proceeding with its original plans, but threats from Gold of “serious sanctions” apparently earned their intended effect.

Shine Fights officials have yet to officially comment on he matter, and Thomas informed MMAjunkie.com that as of this writing, he had yet to be officially informed of the cancellation.
